• The animal is current in its vaccinations for rabies.

If home quarantine is determined by the officer to be an acceptable option, the officer will review the requirements for home quarantining with the owner/care giver. The owner/care giver will be required to sign a document agreeing to abide by such requirements.

It is unlawful for any owner or caregiver of any dog or other animal to permit or negligently allow such dog or other animal to run at large or to trespass upon the property of another person.

No horse, cow, ox, or other such large animal shall be buried on the owner’s real property without approval to do so from the local health department.
